Plates

Have you ever tried balancing?
Balancing on one foot?
On one foot with eyes closed?
Putting faith in the process?
And those around you?
That as the plates are stacked on the poles you hold
 you will not be knocked over?
The wind pushed from your lungs?
The trust in everything diminished?

You have faith in the gravitational force,
Of something much bigger
Than all those present,
And use your sacred resources
To strengthen
Your stance
Your intuition,
Your trust,
First and foremost,
In yourself,
For you are
Held.
